However, they discuss the context of his death and the reactions of various individuals and groups, including US Vice-President JD Vance, who called for those celebrating Kirk's death to be held accountable [1]. The articles also provide context about Charlie Kirk's life and statements before his death, including his discussions about receiving death threats [2]. Additionally, the sources discuss the aftermath of Charlie Kirk's death, including the campaign by conservatives to get his critics ostracized or fired [3]. Some sources report on the controversy surrounding a cartoon referencing Charlie Kirk's assassination, which sparked apologies from publications [5], and the backlash against a principal's social media post about the event [7]. Key points to note are the lack of direct information on Charlie Kirk's statement and the focus on the reactions to his death [1] [3] [4].
2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement
The original statement may be misleading or incomplete due to the lack of direct information about Charlie Kirk's statement on shooting victims [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. Conservative groups may benefit from the framing of the statement, as it focuses on the reactions to Charlie Kirk's death and the campaign to get his critics ostracized or fired [3].
